After Ye Xinning said the photos were missing, Shen Lin nodded. "I'm sure the photos were in Dad's possession when he had the car accident. As for why I didn't see the photos again after I arrived, that's something I can't figure out. After thinking about it, it seems there's only one answer."
"The person who caused this car accident wanted the photos my father had. It would have been easy to take the photos during the chaos of the accident." Ye Xinning chimed in after Shen Lin finished speaking. These were her guesses at the moment, and what she thought Shen Lin also had in mind.
Faced with Ye Xinning's words, Shen Lin's gaze deepened. Ye Xinning knew that this was Shen Lin's way of expressing approval.
Shen Lin had the same guess as her.
Do you know what the photo shows?
Ye Xinning remained silent for a few seconds before asking.
Shen Lin shook his head. "I called my dad because I wanted to know what was in the photo, but the accident happened before he could tell me."
Ye Xinning pressed her red lips together tightly. She wondered to herself, who could have caused this car accident? It was so perfectly timed, so seamless, leaving no trace.
Based on the current situation, after investigating around, the only person Ye Xinning could think of was Mu Mingwei.
If Mu Mingwei would harm her and her mother, there's no guarantee she wouldn't do something to her father.
Thinking of Mu Mingwei, Ye Xinning's gaze towards Shen Lin deepened. "Shen Lin, what do you think? Who could it be?"
She posed the question to Shen Lin.
How could Shen Lin not know what she was trying to say?
He held her hand tightly, his voice heavy.
"I know that if it really is her, I will definitely give you an explanation."
Ye Xinning could see Shen Lin's seriousness, but her father was still in the intensive care unit, his life hanging in the balance. She couldn't just sit there and listen to Shen Lin's so-called assurances as if nothing had happened.
"I'm going to see my dad first. We'll talk about the rest later."
Shen Lin held Ye Xinning's hand tightly.
Reason told him he should let Ye Xinning go, and now was not the time to talk about these things, but the thought that Ye Xinning didn't really believe his promises made him feel uncomfortable.
"You don't believe me?"
Ye Xinning was already in a bad mood, and being dragged along by Shen Lin made her even worse.
"Chen Lin, what are you doing? Let go of me."
Shen Lin remained motionless.
Ye Xinning was furious. She used all her strength to shake off Shen Lin's hand. "Shen Lin, when are you going to put yourself in my shoes? My father is still in the ICU, his life hanging in the balance, and it's highly likely that your aunt is the cause of his condition. How can I talk to you here? Shen Lin, you can't just think about yourself. Shouldn't you consider my feelings too?"
After saying this, Ye Xinning ignored Shen Lin's expression, shook off his hand, and strode away.
Shen Lin stood there, watching her departing figure. He wanted to chase after her, but he was afraid that doing so would only upset her more, so he could only follow behind Ye Xinning silently.
He had just had his blood drawn and was still very weak, which worried Tang Song.
Outside Song Zhengchu's ward, Ji Jianshen had also returned and was standing with Ye Xinning. Shen Lin stood alone in a corner, looking like a stranger.
Tang Song, being a responsible subordinate, still spoke up, "President Shen, how about I take you to the hotel to rest first? There shouldn't be any problems here for the time being. If anything happens, I will inform you as soon as possible."
Shen Lin's gaze fell on Ye Xinning over there, but he didn't make a move. Tang Song wanted to speak, but then Shen Lin spoke.
“She’s here, how can I leave?”
Tang Song's lips moved, but in the end he said nothing and chose to remain silent.
...
Everyone waited at the hospital all night, and it wasn't until morning that Song Zhengchu showed signs of waking up.
Song Zhengchu woke up shortly after the doctor performed an examination.
After waking up, he was transferred to a VIP ward, but because he was still very weak, Ye Xinning could only stay by Song Zhengchu's bedside, looking at him and thinking how fortunate he was.
Thankfully, her father was alright; otherwise, she truly didn't know how she would have been able to persevere in a situation like this. Song Zhengchu only felt a little better later in the evening and was able to speak.
Ye Xinning looked terrible. Despite being pregnant, she had stayed by the hospital bedside, and it was only through her willpower that she had managed to persevere for so long.
Seeing how badly she was in, Song Zhengchu felt extremely distressed.
"Ningning, did Daddy make you worry again?"
Hearing Song Zhengchu's voice, Ye Xinning was overjoyed. She held Song Zhengchu's hand tightly and said, "It's good that Dad is alright."
Song Zhengchu said weakly, "Have you not slept a wink since my accident? You look terrible, are you alright?"
Ye Xinning spoke with a gentle smile, "I'm fine. Dad, do you feel unwell anywhere? I'll have the doctor take a look."
"No need, you sit down, let's chat."
Ye Xinning was still a little worried, but Song Zhengchu said, "When I had the accident, who notified you?"
"Shen Lin." Ye Xinning remained silent for a while before uttering this name.
Song Zhengchu guessed it was Shen Lin. "I was on the phone with him when I had the accident, so it's understandable that he would tell you. By the way, where is Shen Lin?"
Ye Xinning thought of Shen Lin, who had stayed with her all night after the blood transfusion, and something in her heart changed. "I don't know, maybe he's outside, or maybe he's already gone."
Song Zhengchu nodded and did not continue talking about Shen Lin.
The father and daughter started talking about other things. Ye Xinning originally wanted to ask about the photos, but then she thought that Song Zhengchu had just woken up and should rest well. She decided to talk about other things later.
Ye Xinning stayed with Song Zhengchu in the ward for a long time before the door was opened from the outside, and the next second, Ji Jianshen walked in.
"Uncle Song," Ji Jianshen said, his attitude respectful and polite.
Song Zhengchu nodded. "You're here. Sit down."
Ji Jianshen sat down next to Ye Xinning, first asking her if she was hungry, then telling her to wait a while, as he had already asked Zhou Yun to prepare dinner.
Seeing how meticulous and considerate Ji Jianshen was towards Ye Xinning, Song Zhengchu's expression changed, but he remained silent.
Zhou Yun arrived half an hour later, carrying Ye Xinning's dinner. "Miss, please eat first."
Ye Xinning wanted to say that she wasn't hungry and didn't have much of an appetite.
